[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's baffling to me that any competent teacher could ever believe that "good readers" look at the pictures and guess and only consider the letters/sounds as a last resort. Did they never reflect on how they personally learned to read? Consider that for centuries people learned to read from books without pictures?[/quote] My kid figured it out on their own at age three. Smart kid, not genius. We read to them and pointed out the words and did language apps and videos but, yes some kids just figure it out. [/quote] I have a kid like that. And they are certainly the outliers. [/quote]
